The reason I said what I did was because my step-Mother had a cat that HATED my Father.

Often, my Dad would fall asleep on the couch after work, and the cat would perch on the back of it just staring at my Dad, looking like he was hoping my Dad wouldn't wake up.

If my Dad stayed on the couch all night, the cat would crap right where my Dads feet would hit the floor when he went to get up.

When that didn't work, the cat took to crapping on the floor right in front of the coffee maker.

One morning my Dad threw one of his work boots in the cat's direction to scare him off, the following morning, he found crap IN his boot........

When the cat got tired of crapping, it took to knocking pictures off the wall where they'd hit my Dad as he was sleeping.

That cat lived a LONG time. I honestly think it was trying to outlive my Dad.

That cat wouldn't have made it much more then a couple of weeks at my house. My wife would have done it in for not using the litter box after a few weeks. Even all the dogs learned the lesson of crapping in the house pretty quickly.

Had lots of cats around here, they learn pretty quickly. If your cat causes you problems, the issue isn't with the cat, its with the weak cat owner. A disobedient pet needs to be taught discipline, or it needs to be someplace else. As for the guy telling me I'd only kick his cat once, I don't generally go around kicking cats, but if they are too stupid to stay out of my way, all bets are off. I suspect your cats rule your place, I wouldn't be there very long anyway.

45 years with the same woman, we both have learned a lot. 40 years with a daughter, we brought her up pretty well. Lots of years working with women, once I understand where they are coming from I've learned to work around their weaknesses, those that hang around have learned to work around mine. I don't have problems with either cats or women

One simple fact, cats rule and dogs drool! They WILL lay in your way for reasons mentioned above. We left for a 10 day vacation last week and have pet sitters that come twice a day as the cats are just a little over one year old and have never been alone before. The female was crying this morning and obviously stressed, the pet sitter petted her for over an hour until she calmed down. The male cats just want fed and let outside, which we only do supervised so they are a quart low. At least we know they will be happy to see us tomorrow...

Poorboy you must think you are a real tough guy having the women and pets under you boot.
